Although it has been around for awhile, many developers that I have met have never used the Yahoo UI library. This library has been release for quite some time now and it has been one of my favorite web development tools. Yes, there are others such as scriptalicious, prototype, and even some Google alternatives, which are also good, but I have come acustomed to Yahoo’s UI library and find that it fits my needs very well. Among some of the things it does are:

1. Drag and Drop
2. AJAX
3. Modal Windows
4. Events
5. DOM
6. Menu Creation

I have found their AJAX solution especially good to work with. It allows you to easily set the request type, the url, and the callback methods. I have also had great success with the drag and drop library. Yahoo has made each element of the library easily extendable so you can enhance the functionality in a way that fits your individual needs.

I would highly recommend Yahoo’s UI library for anyone who is interested in making there web UIs more appealing. The library along with documentation can be found here: http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/.
